Chapter 50 No Laughing

Seeing her brows furrowed, Shi Yuanxing gently pulled her back to sit beside him and reassured her, "It's alright, this is the Shi family, what trouble could he possibly cause?"

"He's just here to spout some nonsense."

Recalling his sullen appearance just now, Qin Shuzhi couldn't help but ask, "What did he say?"

Shi Yuanxing looked into her worried eyes, "He said..."

He said you married me just to spite him, and that you would eventually come back to him.

"Nonsense, that's not true at all."

Qin Shuzhi was so angry that he retorted on the spot.

"Where does his confidence come from, making him think the whole world revolves around him?"

Fearing that Shi Yuanxing might not believe her, she gripped his arm tightly. "Don't listen to his nonsense. He's long gone from my life. He means nothing to me now."

"Believe me, I married you because I truly want to spend my life with you."

Looking at her earnest and devout eyes, Shi Yuanxing suddenly felt a little foolish.

How did she fall into Shen Yichen's trap of winning hearts and minds?

She didn't marry him out of love, and besides, they've only just started dating. What does it matter if her heart isn't with him right now?

They're people who're going to be together for life.

There's plenty of time in the future; he has all the time he can give her to get to know him and to like him.

Thinking about it this way, he suddenly felt much better.

"Of course I believe you."

Shi Yuanxing squeezed her hand back, "Don't worry, I won't take that person's words to heart."

Shen Yichen is indeed nothing.

She was just a thing of the past for her, and she couldn't cause any trouble in their relationship.

While Shi Yuanxing was having lunch, Qin Shuzhi received a call from Qi Yishan, inviting her to afternoon tea. Since she was already out, she agreed.

After Shi Yuanxing finished eating, she urged him to take his medicine and then let him go back to the rest room to sleep for a while.

Shi Yuanxing pulled her along, "Sleep with me for a while, anyway, your appointment with Miss Qi hasn't arrived yet."

Qin Shuzhi thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright."

So the two went into the lounge.

The interior furnishings, like Mr. Shi himself, are clean and tidy, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

Qin Shuzhi was pulled onto the bed by him. As soon as she lay down, he grabbed her around the waist and pulled her into his arms.

He wanted to hold her while he slept.

Qin Shuzhi nestled in his arms, inhaling his fresh and pleasant scent. Suddenly, she remembered that he had fallen asleep halfway through last night, and found it somewhat amusing, so she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Shi Yuanxing paused, looking down at her with some confusion, "What are you laughing at?"

Qin Shuzhi looked up at him and asked, "Do you remember how you fell asleep last night?"

Shi Yuanxing looked into her bright, smiling eyes, which were full of undisguised teasing, and his handsome face immediately turned bright red.

He remembered clearly what happened last night as soon as he got up.

He actually fell asleep under those circumstances...

That's really embarrassing.

If you didn't know better, you'd think he... had some kind of internal dysfunction.

It was rare to see him blush with shyness and embarrassment, so Qin Shuzhi found it novel and wanted to tease him even more.

"Mr. Shi, your face is so red."

Shi Yuanxing's face burned even hotter, and he quickly reached out and pressed her head into his arms, "Don't look."

The woman buried her face in his chest and giggled, which annoyed Shi Yuanxing so much that he pinched her waist.

"Don't laugh."

Qin Shuzhi insisted on breaking free from his grasp, raising her head and smiling at him, "How can you be so domineering? You won't let people see, and you won't let people laugh either."

"I……"

Shi Yuanxing pinched her plump, collagen-rich cheeks and said in a deliberately fierce tone, "Go to sleep."

Qin Shuzhi couldn't help but laugh and teased him, "Mr. Shi, how can you be so cute?"

Still laughing?

Unable to bear it any longer, Shi Yuanxing suddenly rolled over and pinned her down, his tone dangerous, "Don't you want to sleep anymore, is that it?"

"I'm not... um~"

The man didn't give her a chance to speak and directly sealed her lips with a kiss.

Qin Shuzhi's mind went blank after his punitive deep kiss, and she couldn't breathe. All she could do was push against his chest in a pleading manner.

Shi Yuanxing then released her lips, panting, "Are you still going to cause trouble?"

"...Stop fooling around."

The woman, whose breathing was unsteady, had an incredibly soft and delicate voice.

Shi Yuanxing couldn't help but lower his head and bite her red lips again, "If it weren't for the time constraints, I wouldn't have let you off so easily today."

The doctor said that the medication would not help with sleep during the day, so Qin Shuzhi dared not provoke him too much and quickly admitted her mistake, "I was wrong."

She coaxed sweetly, "We don't have much time left, shall we go to sleep?"

Shi Yuanxing then rolled off the bed, turned to the side, and pulled her into his arms again, biting her ear, "I'll deal with you tonight."

Qin Shuzhi obediently replied, "Okay, I'll clean up tonight."

But in his heart he thought: I have medicine tonight, so I'm not afraid of you.

It was nearly 2 p.m.

When Shi Yuanxing woke up after a short nap, he saw that the person in his arms was sleeping soundly, so he decided to get up quietly.

As soon as she quietly pulled her arm away from her, she slowly opened her eyes.

Her drowsy, innocent look was so cute that Shi Yuanxing's heart softened. He couldn't help but lean down and kiss her, gently coaxing, "Sleep a little longer? I'll wake you up later."

Qin Shuzhi shook her head, her voice soft, "I'm not sleeping anymore~ I want to get up too."

"All right."

Looking at her soft, cute, and lazy appearance, Shi Yuanxing smiled, reached over her back, and lifted her up in his arms.

Qin Shuzhi sat up and glanced down at herself, then looked worried. "My skirt is all wrinkled. I'm going shopping later."

Shi Yuanxing kissed her cheek affectionately. "It's alright, I'll have my secretary send over a new outfit."

Ten minutes later.

A man dressed in a suit and tie walked out of the lounge first.

Half an hour later, the secretary brought in a new dress. Qin Shuzhi changed her clothes and tidied herself up before coming out.

"Mr. Shi, I'm going on my date with Ichizo now."

She picked up her bag, walked to the desk, and said goodbye to the man.

"Yeah, this is fun."

Shi Yuanxing stood up and bent down to kiss her.

Qin Shuzhi raised her hand and covered his lips, mimicking his tone in the lounge, "No kissing."

Shi Yuanxing raised an eyebrow. "Hmm?"

"I just put on my lipstick."

It got damaged after just one kiss.

Shi Yuanxing chuckled softly, raised his hand and pinched her round little earlobe, "Okay, I'll kiss you again when we get home."

Shen Yichen, who had been sitting in the car without moving, finally waited for Qin Shuzhi to appear.

The moment he saw her, his expression changed drastically.

When his trembling gaze fell intently on her fitted blue dress, he felt his breath catch for several seconds, and the hand gripping the steering wheel so tightly that the veins bulged.

During lunch break, a woman stayed in a man's office for such a long time, then changed her clothes. What they did in between is self-evident.

Despite accepting the fact that Qin Shuzhi and Shi Yuanxing had registered their marriage, Shen Yichen still couldn't accept that they had that kind of intimate relationship.

He didn't even dare to imagine that.

But now, seeing Qin Shuzhi come out after changing his clothes, he felt as if his heart had been struck by lightning.

But he held back and didn't immediately jump out of the car.

Instead, he silently watched Qin Shuzhi get into the car and drive away before starting his car and following.
